4CE Electricity “Consumer Choice and Carbon Consciousness”

There are new opportunities for consumers to switch to less polluting energy sources in the liberalized electricity markets that are emerging across Europe. The aim of the 4CE project was to assist consumers to make an informed choice in the liberalized market about the source of their electricity product by designing and implementing a standardized information label for electricity.(Project leader in Hungary: Prof. Diana Ürge-Vorsatz, Central European University, project financed by the Altener program of EU).
